Life environmentalism: Indigenous policy and theory responses to environmental challenges in Japan
Abstract
Life environmentalism (seikatsu kankyo shugi 生活環境主義) is a set of theories and policy approaches to resolve local environmental problems, which originally emerged in the 1980s in Japan. Some of its main tenets resemble the claims of contemporary Anglo-American social science studies, and may no longer appear as novel. Nevertheless, I will demonstrate that we can still learn useful lessons about what it means to build theories and policies by taking historical geographical contexts seriously, as well as about our deep-rooted assumptions about socio-environmental problems and solutions.
